RSPCA Leeds & Wakefield Animal Care Manager, Megan Rattray, says: “The first step when looking to adopt is to have a clear idea of what you’re looking for and what type of pet you can give the best possible home to. It’s important to research the different rescue centres and charities and find the one that supports you the best.
“Different animal charities take in many types of animals who have undergone different experiences in life, and at the RSPCA Leeds & Wakefield, we rescue animals who have sometimes suffered abuse or neglect and require more emotional and mental support. To help our adopters, we offer plenty of post-adoption advice and support to help them settle in as a family.
“It’s important to not rush into choosing an animal immediately, or without even meeting them. Remember, a pet is for life, so it’s okay to take some time to think about such a big commitment.
“We would also recommend experiencing life with an animal before committing to adopting them – especially if you’ve never had a pet at home before. We’re always looking for new foster homes, but even just pet sitting for someone you know can be a great opportunity to understand more about the emotional, financial, and time commitment that is needed for a pet.”
